how much actual usable ram?
how much ram do you REALLY get to use ? I'm betting you are not able to access the full 256 gb but correct me if I am wrong.
Ram, well that's hard as windows uses ram to help cache temp files to save the ssd life. But typically out the the 8gb on the i7 model, I use about 2gb doing nothing. If ive got a bunch of web pages open, slacker, and some other things that uses about 4gb all together. If I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 13, then about 6 gb is used.
